+/**
+ * A UDP transport implementation of a syslog sender.
+ *
+ * Note that there is an anomaly in this version of the code: we query the remote system
+ * address only once during the connection setup and resue it. If we potentially run for
+ * an extended period of time, the remote address may change, what we do not reflect. For
+ * the current use case, this is acceptable, but if this code is put into more wide-spread
+ * use outside of debugging, a periodic requery should be added.
